[PATCH 3.2 070/104] kprobes/x86: Blacklist indirect thunk functions for kprobes

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Mar 11 2018 - 23:49:35 EST


3.2.101-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit c1804a236894ecc942da7dc6c5abe209e56cba93 upstream.

Mark __x86_indirect_thunk_* functions as blacklist for kprobes
because those functions can be called from anywhere in the kernel
including blacklist functions of kprobes.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2: We don't have _ASM_NOKPROBE etc., so add indirect
thunks to the built-in blacklist]
